摘要
Cu2Te thin films were prepared by a coevaporation method. The structural, optical, and electronic properties of Cu2Te thin films were investigated using X-ray diffraction, UV-visible-IR transmittance and reflectance spectra, and Hall measurements. The results show that single-phase Cu2Te thin films can be obtained after annealing at 170 degrees C, and that annealing temperatures higher than 200 degrees C induce the Cu2Te coexisting phase. Subsequently, CdTe solar cells with a Cu2Te layer were fabricated and annealed at various temperatures. CdTe solar cells with a single-phase hexagonal Cu2Te layer annealed at a temperature of 180 degrees C show a good ohmic-contact behavior. (C) 2009 The Japan Society of Applied Physics
